Buying books in law school
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 1:41PM 
Excitement is building around the law school as the 1Ls arrive on campus to start law school orientation. I was working on a project[1] outside the bookstore yesterday and had the opportunity to meet a few newcomers as they went inside to buy their books.
Buying law school books can be expensive; sometimes it needs to be and sometimes it doesn’t.

Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 10:33PM I know I wrote in my last blog that I was going to post a finals wrap-up, but contents of this blog topic have surfaced off and on the last year and I wanted to seize the moment to write about it.
I look at having a JD as a key to opening doors of a wide variety of job opportunities. There is the traditional litigation option, as well as in-house counsel, government agencies, FBI, judicial clerkships,
working as a lobbyist, and much more.
Earning a JD has a big price tag. And I’m not just talking about a dollar value (with several zeros behind it). There is the price of your physical health; ba-bye regular work out, hello desk.
